81. The Ghosts of Grumblethorpe

A whole lot of ghost problems would be solved with a Magic Eraser. What are those things, anyway? Makes you wonder.

This is the story of the ghosts of Grumblethorpe. Come for the ghosts, stay for fake fake names, count the rings and put it back, ze German style, 9000 husbands, ghost stew, the Blarney Stone of Germantown, Justinia Hotdog, and the birth of psychology.
